Peter Facinelli Leaves Paradigm (Exclusive)

Peter Facinelli has left Paradigm for the second time, an individual with knowledge of the situation told TheWrap.

The "Twilight" star, who plays the vampire family's patriarch Dr. Carlisle Cullen in the franchise, is currently without an agent.

He and his production company, Facinelli Films, which he runs with producing partner Robert DeFranco, remain represented by Untitled Entertainment and attorney Steve Warren, the individual told TheWrap.

This is the second time the 38-year-old actor and producer has parted with Paradigm. He had been a long-time client until mid-2010, when he moved for nine months to UTA before returning to Paradigm in June 2011.

Facinelli, whose fictional PhD carries over to the small screen, also plays Dr. Fitch "Coop" Cooper on Showtime's "Nurse Jackie." The show was renewed in May for a fifth season that begins in September.
